THIS is the shocking moment Celtic legend Henrik Larsson and his son were attacked after their team was relegated.

A group of masked hooligans made their way onto the pitch after Helsingborgs were relegated from the Swedish top division.

Larsson, who now manages the Swedish outfit, saw his son Jordan, who plays for the club, confronted by disgruntled fans after the team conceded two late goals knocking them out of the Allsvenskan for the first time in 23 years.

The footage shows the Celtic legend’s son having his shirt ripped off of him and being pushed by the hooligans.

Before the group of fans invaded the pitch, the 19-year-old had seats, flares and objects thrown in his direction after the final whistle.
